"Yes." Kui Jiu answered crisply, without the slightest hesitation.
Yu Cang's gaze trembled. He then slowly nodded, an unreadable smile surfacing in his eyes. "Thank you for telling me."
He looked up at the heavens, staring from afar at that place where the paths of fate churned, and murmured, "So you saw the future. I hope I, too, can see the future of the Mystic Cosmos Sea Clan."
"Yu Cang, until we meet again." Kui Jiu showed neither joy nor sorrow.
"Tai Yuan, if we meet in the Immortal Realm someday, we shall discuss the three thousand Daos again." Yu Cang spoke calmly, also committing to memory the strange racial form Tai Yuan had taken.
Kui Jiu cupped his hands, then swiftly transformed into a Dao shadow and vanished within the Emperor Abyss Sea.
This place became quiet once more, steeped in the silence of countless ages.
Yu Cang was the very sort whose heart refused to die, and whose Dao could not be born. He silently lowered his head and resumed roaming the four seas, settling accounts with the Heavenly Human Race cultivators on land and wiping them out to the last...
Spring Lantern City.
Heaven and earth underwent immense change, and the entire city rose into the sky.
And it was not only this place.
Within Peaceful Medical Hall, Fourth Duke stared at everyone in stunned disbelief, drenched in sweat as he trembled and said, "I... pay my respects, Dao Ancestor!"
"Fourth Duke, there is no need to stand on ceremony."
Chen Xun smiled faintly. "We are merely traveling through this world. Your kind heart has earned you kind fruit."
Fourth Duke was dazed, still unable to believe it even now.
From then on.
The unrest in Spring Lantern City completely vanished, and peace returned as before.
